Biography
1) Flash Harry is debut solo release from Barnaby Weir (Sagitarius, Year of the Horse 1978 – half man, twice horse) the acclaimed singer-songwriter from The Black Seeds and Dub Connection.
”The songs are combinations of lots of ideas and older songs reworked and moulded over the last 2 years. Each song has its own direction and meaning. They’re personal songs, late night illusions and adventurous do das. ”It was a long process, lots of late nights, lots of listening and planning and re-writing, then mix-master extraordinaire Lee Prebble took hold of it and helped me finish it and add character to the whole which is this album.
””Flash Harry” has many different elements. It’s not genre specific, and therefore hard to pigeon hole. It has funk and electro, but also rock and dub flavours. It's slick, but raw too. I think it’s surprising, certainly not what you'd expect. Some of the tracks have a certain radio shine while others will be like a bull in your china shop for some listeners. What is it?…is it dance? dub? rock? pop?… who cares where you think it fits. It just does. It is Flash Harry.”
